Ajay Mitchell sets new career-high in blowout win over Grizzlies

The Oklahoma City Thunder desperately needed players on the roster to step up following the injuries to Jalen Williams, Cason Wallace, and Chet Holmgren. Thankfully, AJ Mitchell has come to the rescue. The third year guard out of the University of Santa Barbara had a strong second season with the Thunder in the 2025-26 season, but has taken his game to the next level with his increased opportunity in his third season.
